XR Layout

  • Article

This section applies only to Windows 7 and later operating systems.

XR is a fixed-point 1.9 format. The value is biased by -0.5, which results in a dynamic range of approximately [-0.5,1.5]. The fixed point representation implies a scale of 2x to shift the decimal point one place to the right.

Each XR element occupies one 32-bit DWORD, which is laid out as shown in the following table regardless of host CPU endianness.
